Second Update: Looking for subscriptions and monthly tickets ~ ~ ~ Happy Lantern Festival to all my readers!
...
"I see..."
It was obvious that this formation master was a top-notch expert. He was even stronger than Qin Fang, a grandmaster of formations. It was no surprise that he was able to do something like this.
But...
"You're right … If it's really only Spirit Crystals, then it's really my chance!"
As a grandmaster of formations, he might not be as good as the formation master in Penglai Secret Realm, but he was more than capable of destroying this formation!
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that it used spirit crystals as its energy source was the fatal flaw of this array … Qin Fang was confident that he could use this to destroy the protective array of the entire Peng Lai Secret Land in one fell swoop!
"As the saying goes, a well-intentioned flower never blooms, but an unintentional willow grows..."
Qin Fang did not expect that just as he was about to give up on his plan, he would suddenly see the light at the end of the tunnel. Both his face and his heart were filled with excitement!
If it weren't for the fact that he was in a precarious situation, he would have rushed into Penglai Secret Realm and destroyed the formation, destroying the entire place...
"Thank goodness I didn't kill you..."
Looking at Song Lian again, Qin Fang also felt that his luck was not bad!
If he had killed Song Lian directly, he might have gained a huge amount of experience points, or even a divine skill like the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Divine Elephant... However, compared to Song Lian's suggestion, none of that was worth mentioning.
The former would only give Qin Fang some benefits, while the latter would make Qin Fang's trip to Penglai even more exciting and successful... The rewards would be many times more than the former.
If he was lucky, he could destroy the super formation and take the lives of those experts as easily as cutting grass. At the very least, they would be Supremes. Even half-step Grand Emperors might be killed.
If that was the case, it would be much more profitable than if Qin Fang killed Song Lian alone!
"Let's not talk about this for now. Hurry up and heal your injuries. We can't do without your help in the battle of Kunlun …"
For now, Qin Fang could not care about the matter of the Penglai Secret Realm. Furthermore, before he advanced to half-step Martial Emperor, this operation had no chance of success. Naturally, he had to focus on what was before him.
There were still three Peng Lai experts waiting for him on Kunlun Mountain. Two half-step Martial Emperors and one quasi Martial Emperor. None of them were weaker than Song Lian. In fact, two of them were even stronger than Song Lian.
This was a very serious challenge for Qin Fang!
If it was just Qin Fang alone, it would be difficult to make ends meet. However, with the help of the "spy" Song Lian, the result would be completely different … However, Song Lian had to recover from his injuries first. Otherwise, it would be too easy for him to be exposed.
Two days later, Qin Fang brought Song Lian to the foot of Mount Kunlun.
Originally, Qin Fang could have been faster. However, Song Lian's injuries were not light. It would take time for him to fully recover … Therefore, Qin Fang had no choice but to delay a bit.
However, with Qin Fang's strong support and the help of the Giant Star Beast, Song Lian's injuries recovered relatively quickly. Now, he was almost fully recovered and could even be compared to his peak state!
"Sigh, I didn't think that my first visit to the Kunlun Mountain Gate would be in such a situation …"
Looking at the majestic Kunlun Mountain Range, Qin Fang muttered to himself.
As a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, Qin Fang could be considered an exception. He had not even been to the Kunlun Sect's mountain gate … He had joined the sect halfway and learned his skills. Moreover, Old Daoist Qingxu was very open-minded towards him. He did not force Qin Fang to enter the mountain gate to cultivate. He gave Qin Fang enough freedom.
Originally, he had planned to come here as a formality. However, he had been delayed by various matters.
But now, his first visit to the Kunlun Mountain Gate was in such a situation. At this moment, Qin Fang's mood was very complicated …
"Next, it will depend on your performance …"
Qin Fang gave Song Lian some simple instructions. Meanwhile, he quickly hid himself.
The Kunlun Sect had already been massacred. The survivors were almost all the disciples and grand-disciples of Old Daoist Qingyuan. They had all betrayed their sect and hated Qin Fang to the bone. It was really unwise for Qin Fang to walk up to them like this.
Since he had decided to use Song Lian as a spy, the main performance naturally fell on Song Lian. Meanwhile, Qin Fang himself would hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to act!
"Yes, master!"
Song Lian respectfully replied. Then, he quickly rushed towards the Kunlun Mountain Gate!
Now, the entire Kunlun Sect was desolate and quiet …
The originally lively atmosphere was long gone. The bodies of the killed disciples had been dealt with long ago. However, the bloodstains on the ground could still be seen from time to time. This was a testament to the brutality of the battle!
The disciples who had betrayed their sect were still very 'loyal' to their sect. However, when they saw Song Lian return, they all remained silent. They lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Although they were still alive, their status was completely different!
Not to mention, many of them had seen Song Lian's savage killing spree. If anyone dared to mess with him, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to keep them alive!
"Hmph!"
No matter how much Song Lian hated these people, he would not make a move at this time. He only snorted coldly. Then, he quickly crossed the gate and went straight to the main hall of the Kunlun Sect.
As for Qin Fang?
Naturally, he followed Song Lian's footsteps …
With his strength and cultivation, how could a former Kunlun disciple, who was at most a Grandmaster, discover him?
The reason why Song Lian was in front of Qin Fang was not only to attract the enemy's attention, but also to guide him. It was his first time entering the Kunlun Sect. Qin Fang was not familiar with the place. Walking around randomly would waste too much time.
Hearing that Song Lian had returned, Xiahou and the other two walked out of the main hall to welcome him.
"Why did you come back alone?"
Sun Jian and Song Lian had always been on bad terms. At this moment, Sun Jian asked impolitely.
"Hmph …"
Song Lian glared at him and snorted coldly. However, he did not even look at Sun Jian … The two of them did not like each other. How could Song Lian be willing to be bullied by Sun Jian?
"Song Lian, what happened?"
On the other hand, Xia Hou frowned slightly and immediately asked.
They all knew that Song Lian went to hunt down Taoist Qingxu. They even took this mission very seriously … The secrets of the Kunlun Secret Chamber were all with Taoist Qingxu. If they wanted to get the Secret Chamber, they had to catch him alive. At the very least, they had to find out some secrets from him.
"I ran into some trouble … That old guy escaped!"
Song Lian shook his head and said helplessly.
"Trash!"
Sun Jian sneered impolitely. "You couldn't even deal with an old guy who was seriously injured and had one foot in the door of hell. You really disgraced our Penglai …"
"Tell me, what happened?"
As the leader of this small group, Xia Hou naturally wouldn't reprimand Sun Jian in such a manner. He furrowed his brows and asked in a puzzled manner.
Looking at Song Lian's expression, he knew there must be a reason.
"I've been ambushed …"
Song Lian said with a bitter smile.
"Hmm?"
Xiahou was also surprised. "The person who could attack you and make you return empty-handed must be a top-notch expert from the outside world. Could it be that Chu Kuangren from the Beyond the Heavens Sect?"
They had fought Crazy Emperor before so they naturally knew how powerful he was …
Crazy Emperor was no match for the four of them. However, in a one-on-one fight, he could easily defeat Song Lian with his legendary artifact. He could even kill Song Lian!
Why did he suspect the other three?
Because this person was trying to save Taoist Qingxu!
As for the other three …
Blood Emperor was from the Demon School and Evil Emperor was from the Heretical School. These two were Kunlun's sworn enemies. If they ran into each other, it was already good enough that they did not take advantage of the situation to attack Taoist Qingxu. There was no way they would help Taoist Qingxu.
As for the Dark King, he was a westerner and would never leave Europe. How could he possibly come to the Chidragon to save Taoist Qingxu?!
"No!"
Song Lian denied directly. "Actually, you all know this person …"
"We all know this person?"
Xia Hou, Sun Jian, and the others were slightly stunned, appearing extremely surprised. After all, they only knew a few people in the outside world, and those who had such a cultivation were even rarer.
"Could it be Yan Xing?"
Xiahou immediately muttered.
Yan Xing, the master of Yama Prefecture, met this condition and was also someone they knew. Almost immediately, the name appeared in Xiahou's mind. However, he denied it at that moment.
"No, it's not Yan Xing. It's … Qin Fang?"
While denying Yan Xing, Xiahou suddenly thought of a person!
He had also noticed that Song Lian had used the word "know" instead of "know" …
"Yes, it's Qin Fang!"
Song Lian nodded and gave an affirmative answer. Then he briefly described the situation. "Just when I was about to catch that old guy, Qin Fang appeared … He's very strong, almost as strong as me. With the help of an old monk, I couldn't succeed!"
This could be said to be ninety percent true and ten percent false.
It could even be regarded as a fact …
Hearing this, Xiahou's expression changed slightly. After all, if Qin Fang's strength was too strong, it would be troublesome for their operation. As the leader of the team, he naturally had to think carefully.
"And, I also saw the Heavenly Star Lock …"
In order to win their trust completely, Song Lian even revealed a piece of shocking information!
"What?
The Heavenly Star Lock … Is the Heavenly Star Lock really in Qin Fang's hands? "
At this moment, Xia Hou could no longer remain calm. His tone became a lot more hurried, and the tone of his inquiry also became very agitated!
